Super smash evolution in a nutshell 5

previous
next

A lil series about the smash bros characters evolution through the 4 and a half game series thus far in the franchise. starting of course with the original 12, with 4 fighters per page through the 4 games.

so the first 2 (or 3 ifya count toad) were considered for the first smash bros, and then we move into Melee. So we got ganondorf, princess peach, and zelda/shiek
We shall explore how these 4 have come through the 4 games thus far. This is just how I view their evoltuions, as well as some info and experience i found through playing the games.
So letsa go

Princess peach, a royal pain in the butt

Peach was considered for the first smash, but did not make it. She later appears in melee as a floaty character with an explosive hip, she really didn't hit her high point until brawl, where she gained more air game despite exchanging explosives for hearts, especially with her hovering ability improved. Peach was pretty scary in the right hands. By smash 4 peach really didn't get so many changes, but her final smash gained a change in the recovery items dropped, once there were many peaches, now only 3 large ones.

Ganondorf the king of evil's quest for power

Ganon was considered for the 1st smash, but did not come til melee. There he was just like captain falcon, except not so great at all.... He didn't really improve much on brawl's coming, gaining a few tactics but it did not do so much for his usefulness... Along comes smash 4 and now Ganondorf is the powerhouse he was supposed to be and has the speed to prove it! his down air and down b gained meteor smashing ability, one that really makes him a power player!

Zelda, in the shadow of shiek

Zelda premiered in melee with an interesting ability to change movesets between her and shiek. but alas zelda's strategy wasn't used as often as shiek's in both melee and brawl shiek was the powering force of the character. a shame really cause zelda does have some good moves, despite her air game being a matter of timing. shiek was powerful in melee, and in brawl she was still strong. by smash 4, the two finally become separate characters. Zelda gaining the phantom slash, which can be pretty strong when fully charged. while shiek gets two new moves, a flash bomb and a flopping fish named ninja tactic. Sheik remained at a similar power, and zelda kinda got a lil more in power now (if only the online players would actually not rely so much on her upB though, seriously stupid spammers)

so yea that's the characters in a nutshell, this is also where i got the song for ganondorf's final panel www.youtube.com/watch?v=PD5HfM… i thought it was wierd al's but apparently not. also shiek's last one was just cause i got lazy, its not easy drawing legend of zelda characters...

so anyways comment and enjoy
All characters belong to nintendo
